    tty: Fix spurious poll() wakeups · 57087d51

    When the N_TTY line discipline receives data and wakes readers to
    process the input, polling writers are also mistakenly woken. This
    is because, although readers and writers are differentiated by
    different wait queues (tty->read_wait & tty->write_wait), both
    wait queues are polled together. Thus, reader wakeups without poll
    flags still cause poll(POLLOUT) to wakeup.
    
    For received data, wakeup readers with POLLIN. Preserve the
    unspecific wakeup in n_tty_packet_mode_flush(), as this action
    should flag both POLLIN and POLLOUT.
    
    Fixes epoll_wait() for edge-triggered EPOLLOUT.
